Are there any Sugar Labs contributors interested in this event?

SkoleLinux is a very professional organization that has had a great
deal of success deploying their Debian educational software in schools
around the world.

Sugar Labs can earn a great deal from SkoleLinux's experiences.
Hopefully, in return, Sugar can become a valuable component in the
SkoleLinux product line.
